I was taught this: In the 1700's as pool sticks were shifting from hooked mallets to actual cues a one-legged French navy guy who put leather tips on the end of his peg leg so he would not slip on marble floors kept miscueing with his billiards stick and figured that if it worked for his leg it...

If only the Han were not so proud of the purity of their genetic lineage and could even consider something like that. Significantly greater chance of the Chinese creating cloning or some type of embryonic production industry vs watering of the bloodline.

And this is why China is facing one of the most severe aging and depopulation crises in the world. Too many boys, not enough girls, not enough new children being born. This is also why the window to take Taiwan via military measures is only seven years long. China is in a world of shit...

Steve, first things first I'm sorry for your loss. Personally on cues that have emotional connections like those I would not worry about value and instead try to find a young female player in your old league playing with crap cues and gift them to her under the condition that she play with them...

Is there an APA patch for that?

Did they low-ball you, or negotiate down to a specific price and then ghost you?

So I have two, both bought online, a plane jane I got for $50 and a Merry Widow I bought off eBay for $130. I'm not saying the prices I paid are reflective of market value and neither was identified as a slade cue. Honestly the original owners had no clue what they were and probably didn't...

If that cue was made by Bob after he fell-out with Huebler and before he opened Originals it would make it rare and collectible but you would assume that Bob would have marked it in some way. That price range is well above anything I have seen for a Slade cue but others on here may be more...

I paid less than $100 for either of mine, one is a plain Jane and the other a merry widow a lot like the one in your photos but with different rings. I don't know anyone who collects them directly and have never viewed them as high value

I have two, and both have some level of warp/lift in the butt. I've never been able to confirm what kind of numbers these cues were made in but the quality feels roughly equal to Viking

some photos of the entire cue might help too, try using an image-uploading service like ImgBB that's what I use.

USPS is completely and totally broken. Bought a Rhino shaft which ships from San Antonio and it took the post office 12 days to get it to KC.

With no logo, your nuts There was a cue a couple of weeks ago in the Huebler FB group that someone sent to Scott for a refinish and he took the logo off. No one bought the cue, he lowered the price three times. These bog-standard Hueblers are great old cues but there not magical and the...

@garczar please deal with this thread....

And in that shape with almost no surviving logo your going to be lucky to get $100

This is because of all the folks teaching people how to use the search bar instead of just answering their dumb questions and then said people not being smart enough to read the date stamps that are on every post. Stop teaching people how to fish and just give them the damn sardine....

I'm assuming the fake ones are lower deflection, hence the alarm.

Eddie is amazing and brings a really fresh aesthetic to the cue-building world. I'm going to get him to do two Titlist conversions as father and son cues, sort of Eddie-Bushka's

The bumper and butt is almost identical to several of my Sol Rich Rich-Q's.

She's a beaut, won't lie I was hoping for a brass pin and pill bumper. Something about those super super early Mississippi cues that still amaze me and I hunt them. Only have two, but always looking sneak one more into the collection. Also still trying to collect more info around Bob's falling...
